THE long-standing and productive cricket relationship shared by the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTYSC) and Farfan and Mendes Limited (F&M) was extended for another year last Thursday when the Georgetown-based company renewed its sponsorship of the Club’s Under-15 team. Fifteen years ago, the company accepted the club’s offer to sponsor the team and over the years the RHT/Farfan & Mendes Under-15 team developed into one of the leading teams within the age group in Berbice, winning several championships while producing numerous national and Berbice players.
Secretary/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of RHTYSC Hilbert Foster praised F&M for its continued investment into the club and the role it has played in the development of numerous young cricketers.
Over the years, the RHTYSC Farfan and Mendes Under-15 team have won the Berbice championship thrice and have produced a total of 11 Under-15 national players and 27 Inter-county players for Berbice, with players of the calibre of Assad and Abdel Fudadin, Delbert Hicks, Royston Crandon, Dominic Rikhi, Shawn Pereira, Parmanand Narine, Murphy La Rose and Shevon Marks benefiting from the sponsorship.
They are currently the defending Under-15 champions of Berbice and to date have reached the quarterfinals of the current tournament.
Captain of the team, Arif Chan, expressed gratitude to the long-serving sponsor for the role it has played in developing the career of the young players. He also pledged to continue the team’s rich tradition of success.
